Information to organize before an endoscopy consultation
A short record of symptoms, previous results and medicines can help you cover important questions during your visit.
Key points
- Prioritize questions
- Organize records and medicines
- Check your understanding
Start with your priorities
Write down what matters most to you, such as why a test is needed, how to prepare or how it differs from an earlier examination.
Use records
Organize symptom timing, previous examination or surgery records and medicines. Bring a prescription record if names are difficult to remember.
Confirm understanding
Ask again when something is unclear. Restate the preparation and contact plan in your own words.
